Today I tried out a new sketch of mine using the technique of Pointilism. The result was amazing, though I used hatching simultaneously with it. I love experimenting. The sketch is of a crow sitting comfortably on a cushioned chair with a man’s head in the background with his brains exposed.
Thanks for sharing your views. I wish we could share ideas thus. Bye.

I am working with men in prison as a psychologist and using art therapy. Some have never drawn before. You ideas and demonstrations will help them. I gave http address to them as well.
Some of the persons know how to draw and shade and about half do not. I am having the ones who know how to shade work with persons who do not. At the same time upping the skills of those who have talent. It is amazing how the conversation and openness that develops enhances these groups as well as other group therapy sessions. The enjoyment of the process spreads to the rest of life.
